What You'll Need

  • IKEA FYRTUR blind (with included hardware)
  • DIRIGERA hub or TRADFRI gateway
  • Drill with bits
  • Screwdriver
  • Level
  • Measuring tape
  • IKEA Home Smart app

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Measure your window: FYRTUR blinds come in fixed sizes. Verify your blind fits within the window frame or measure for outside mount.
  2. Charge the blind: Connect the included USB cable to the blind's charging port. Charge fully before installation (approximately 8 hours).
  3. Install mounting brackets: Position the brackets at each end of the window frame. Use the level to ensure they're aligned. Drill pilot holes and secure with screws.
  4. Set the blind length: Before mounting, adjust the bottom position by manually rolling the blind to your desired stopping point.
  5. Mount the blind: Insert one end of the roller into a bracket, then snap the other end into place. The blind should click securely.
  6. Test manual operation: Pull down gently to extend. Give a slight tug to activate auto-retraction.
  7. Set up the hub: If not already done, set up your DIRIGERA hub using the IKEA Home Smart app.
  8. Pair the blind: In the app, tap "Add Device" and select "Blinds." Press the pairing button on the blind (small button near the charging port) and hold for 5 seconds.
  9. Calibrate positions: Follow the app prompts to set the fully open and fully closed positions.
  10. Create schedules: Set up sunrise/sunset automation or custom schedules in the app.
